Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory which suggests that there are five levels of human needs that motivate behavior. These five levels of needs are physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Safety needs are considered a lower level need because they are required for basic survival and must be satisfied before a person can move on to higher level needs such as love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Social needs, recognition needs, and esteem needs are higher level needs, which are not as critical as safety needs. Therefore, option B (safety) is the correct answer.
